Bath Road, Rodborough, Stroud, GL5 3TA

205 Bath Road is a beautifully renovated and sympathetically restored semi-detached character home, believed to date from the early 1900s. Set over three floors and positioned within the Stroud Valleys, the property combines period detail with carefully chosen contemporary finishes, enjoying views to the rear towards Rodborough and the Fort, and to the front over Selsley Common. With block paved off-street parking for two vehicles and a beautifully planted rear garden, it is a home with a thoughtful balance of practicality, character and style.

From the parking area, steps lead up to the front entrance, framed by established lavender shrubs. The ground floor opens into a generous open-plan sitting and dining space, where solid oak flooring runs throughout and high ceilings enhance the sense of space. Modern sash windows bring in plenty of natural light, while a small wood burner with a tasteful stone surround creates a warm focal point within the dining area. There is also a large understairs cupboard, providing useful everyday storage.

The kitchen which has underfloor heating has been designed in a clean, contemporary style with a mix of cream and soft grey handle-free gloss units at both floor and eye level. Black sparkle-effect Silestone work surfaces provide contrast, while the large island houses a four-burner gas hob with extractor above. Integrated appliances include one integrated fridge freezer and one integrated under-counter freezer, a double eye-level oven and a Siemens coffee machine, complemented by a 1.5 white enamel sink and large white ceramic floor tiles. French doors open directly from the kitchen onto the patio and rear garden, giving the ground floor a lovely connection to the outside space.

On the first floor there are two bedrooms and the family bathroom. The larger bedroom sits to the front of the property and has two double sash windows, while the second bedroom, currently suitable as a single room or study, is positioned to the middle of the floor with views over the rear garden and wall-to-wall fitted wardrobes. The bathroom which also has underfloor heating is fully tiled in large ceramic tiles and fitted with a white suite comprising a bath with rain shower over, wall-hung WC, sink with storage beneath and a large heated towel rail. An airing cupboard housing the boiler provides further storage. On the second floor there is a generous double bedroom with a stunning exposed stone chimney breast as a focal point and wonderful views towards Selsley.

The rear garden has a spacious patio adjoining the house framed by pretty planted beds and steps up to level lawn complemented by established shrubs and a glass waterfall feature. The garden offers a good degree of privacy and is fully enclosed, with a useful side gate.
